3rd Buxton (Harpur Hill) Cub Pack

90th Anniversary Walk

90th Anniversary of Cub Scouting 2006

Our Cub Pack is part of High Peak District within the County of Derbyshire. In September 2006 all the Cubs from the District were invited to take part in a Hike to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the founding of Cub Scouts. It was great fun, we mixed with Cubs from other packs and took place in a quiz during the walk.

Some of us had parents with us, the event was sponsored by Highland Spring who kindly donated bottled water so we didn't dehydrate on the walk. At the end of the walk we found out who else had sponsored the walk, it was Swizzels Matlow. They had kindly sent sweets which we all eagerly consumed at the end of the walk.

Our District Commissioner came along and talked to us about Cub Scouting and gave us a view of how big Scouting really is and how we fitted into the worldwide picture. Below are some pictures taken on the day of the walk which was blessed with excellent weather. Our District Fellowship team came along and helped ensure that the day was a great success.

As Cubs we walked around Fernilee Reservoir in the Goyt Valley but some of our intrepid leaders walked in from our group headquarters all over the High Peak. In total the combined distance that we walked was 300 miles.
